^^^ as ioneabee says....those nail plates are damn strong and do an excellent job of holding 2 lengths of timber together.
imo you should be fine as long as you spread the load out.
Check with a straight edge under the bottom truss between the joint for any misalignment if you suspect overloading.
Ok Alex its a 57 HR, if its a viscous diff I assume it uses something like silicon oil which is in a sealed unit and cant be changed. The rest of it is like an open diff, hence the standard oil used.Am I correct in thinking this?
Have been using the specified Nissan diff fluid as recommended by traders on here Part No.KE907-99932
On the back of the 1L container it states:
"Nissan genuine differential fluid formulated and approved for Nissan differential gear vehicles.
Not to be used when a Nissan genuine LSD fluid is required."
When is genuine LSD fluid required?
Can someone please explain the last bit as I'm a bit confused
Alternator will be putting out about 14 volts. It would be overcharging at 15-16 volts.
Battery could be on its last legs and not holding its charge OR something could be draining it.
You would have to pull one of the battery leads off and put an ammeter in series (or a multimeter set to amps)
to check if its pulling any significant current with everything switched off.
If you find that it is, then you would have to pull fuses one at a time to identify which circuit is causing the drain.
